I am using SI 3.6.3 to image a redhat linux machine using raid & lvm.
I added the following to the golden client master script to create the
volume group and logical volumes:
### BEGIN LVM initialization commands -AR- ###
pvcreate -ff -y /dev/sda3
### END LVM initialization commands ###
### BEGIN LVM groups creation commands -AR- ###
vgscan
vgcreate -s 8MB -v Volume00 /dev/sda3
### END LVM groups creation commands ###
### BEGIN LVM volumes creation commands -AR- ###
lvcreate --verbose --size 2.5G --name LogVol00 Volume00
lvcreate --verbose --size 3.0G --name LogVol03 Volume00
lvcreate --verbose --size 1008M --name LogVol05 Volume00
lvcreate --verbose --size 8.0G --name LogVol04 Volume00
lvcreate --verbose --size 5.0G --name LogVol01 Volume00
lvcreate --verbose --size 6.0G --name LogVol02 Volume00
### END LVM volumes creation commands ###
The install process completes (and I see the volume group and logical
volumes being created), but when I reboot, the kernel does not find the
volume group Volume00. Since my root filesystem is on a logical volume,
the server will not boot and I get the following messages:
...
Partition check:
sda: sda1 sda2 sda3
Loading lvm-mod.o module
LVM version 1.0.8-2 (26/05/2004) module loaded

Freeing unused kernel memory: 232k freed
kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.
-------------
I tried reimaging with "vgchange -y a" added into the install script
after the vgcreate command, but the volume group was still not found by
the kernel when rebooting.
I would appreciate any suggestions!
Thanks!
